fi
re hazard
and/or personal injury.
– This product may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause
permanent hearing loss. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause
permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in suscep bility to noise-
induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed
to sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the
permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart. According to
OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in some
hearing loss. To ensure against poten ally dangerous exposure to high sound
pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment
capable of producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors while
the equipment is in opera on. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over
the ears must be worn when opera ng the equipment in order to prevent
permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here. Keep
your's a en on that children and pets are more suscep ble to excessive noise
levels.

fi
ed service personnel when:

TROUBLESHOOTING
No Power
• The loudspeaker's "POWER" switch is o
ff
.
• Make sure the mains AC outlet is live (check with a tester or a lamp).
• Make sure the mains plug is securely plugged into mains AC outlet.
No Sound
• Is the input LEVEL control for the channel turned up?
• Is the SIGNAL LED illuminated? If not check if your signal level is too low or check the signal cable, mixer and other
equipment se ng and cabling.
• Are you sure your signal cables works properly? check it using a cable tester or replacing with a new one.
• Is the SPEAKON cable connector correctly inserted? turn it clockwise un l it clicks.
• Are you sure your power cable works properly? check it using a cable tester or replacing with a new one.
Distorted Sound
• Input signal level is too high. Turn down your level controls.
NOTE: The loudspeakers should never be operated at a level which causes the ampli
fi
er Clip LEDs to illuminate
constantly.
Di
ff
erent channel
level
• Check if are using a balanced cable for one channel and an unbalanced one for the other, as this would cause a
considerable di
ff
erence in channel levels.
• Be sure that your loudspeaker system is fully connected and both loudspeakers have the same impedance.
Noise / Hum
• Enable GND LIFT bu on on rear panel, if the problem persist press all GND LIFT bu ons for all system's ampli
fi
ers.
• Whenever possible, preferably use only balanced cables. Unbalanced lines may also be used but may result in noise
over long cable runs.
• Some mes it helps to plug all audio equipment into the same AC circuit so they share a common ground.
